AIR MAIL

Where today’s air came from

The air arriving over McClenney Tract about 5,000 feet above the ground was over Baja California three days ago, and over southern California a day ago, about 580 miles back along its path. Most of the nine paths traced from around the city agree. It came down from about 12,500 feet up, warming and drying as it sank. Near the ground the air came from southern California; at 10,000 feet, from the desert Southwest. Traced back 72 hours through NOAA’s hourly RAP analyses, nine paths at each of three heights.

THE GROUND

What McClenney Tract stands on

McClenney Tract’s center stands about 4,870 ft above sea level. Within three miles the land runs from 2,680 ft to 6,560 ft, a difference of 3,880 ft: mountain country. The highest named summit within 15 miles is Onion Meadow Peak, about 8,340 ft, 15 miles north.

Under the town center the state geologic map shows Mesozoic granitic rocks, unit 3 (Sierra Nevada, Death Valley area, Northern Mojave Desert and Transverse Ranges) (granodiorite), from the Permian to Tertiary, 2.6 to 260 million years old.

The section below crosses 3 rock units mapped at the surface.

Rock at the surface along the line

Mesozoic granitic rocks, unit 3 (Sierra Nevada, Death Valley area, Northern Mojave Desert and Transverse Ranges)

Granodiorite. Age: Permian to Tertiary, 2.6 to 260 million years old. About 22 mi of the line.

Pre-Cenozoic metasedimentary and metavolcanic rocks undivided

Schist, gneiss. Age: Paleoproterozoic to Cretaceous, 66 to 2,500 million years old. About 1 mi of the line.

Older Quaternary alluvium and marine deposits

Coarse-detrital. Age: Pleistocene, less than 2.6 million years old. About 1 mi of the line.

From the USGS State Geologic Map Compilation (Horton and others, 2017), the states’ geologic maps joined at a common scale.

THE WATER

Where McClenney Tract’s rain goes

A raindrop that lands in McClenney Tract reaches the Tulare Lake basin by way of Poso Creek: about 85 river miles. The Tulare Lake basin has no outlet to the sea: the water leaves only by evaporating or soaking into the ground.

THE WAY DOWN, TO SCALE
McClenney Tract≈ 85 mi · the Tulare Lake basin
FROM THE CENTER OF MCCLENNEY TRACT ≈ 85 mi to the Tulare Lake basin Poso Creek

Often dry. About 80% of the way is mapped as streams that run only after rain or snowmelt; the water makes the whole trip in floods.

A lake that comes back. The bed of Tulare Lake is farmland now; in very wet years it floods again.

Traced down the USGS NHDPlus V2.1 river network from the Census center point of McClenney Tract; river miles along the main stem, rounded.
